Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 264 - 163: Slaying and Entering the Perfection Free-for-All

Chapter 264: Chapter 163: Slaying and Entering the Perfection Free-for-All

However, this was clearly a tremendous illusion.

The Vibrating Annihilation Sword merely swung lightly, breaking through all defensive artifacts and magic techniques. Finally, under Luo Golden Body’s exceedingly pale face and extremely terrified eyes, it turned into a beam of light and split him vertically into two halves.

In an instant, the lake water here calmed down immediately, only the violent fluctuation of the surrounding waters testified to the fierce battle that had just occurred.

Unfortunately, such a spectacular scene was destined to have no audience.

Because those who had reached Foundation Establishment Perfection had already entered deeper into the lake, and ordinary Five Sects Foundation Establishment Middle and Late Stage cultivators could not come here.

A swift and exhilarating top-tier magical combat concluded, but Qi Chuan was not in the mood for any post-battle reflections. He simply stepped forward, collected Luo Golden Body’s Qiankun Bag, and after using his Divine Sense to break the seal of the opponent’s Power of Divine Soul, took out some dubious items from the bag and burned them along with Luo Golden Body’s corpse using a Fireball Technique.

Then, ignoring everything here, he immediately dived deeper into the lake.

Although Luo Golden Body was indeed someone he had long wanted to deal with, the latter was also a top Foundation Establishment Late Stage powerhouse in the Land of the Five Sects.

However, at this moment, to Qi Chuan, killing Luo Golden Body was an accident, a matter of convenience.

For him, the most important thing, after all, was the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi.

"I shouldn’t have wasted too much time; I wonder how the struggle for the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi is going. Hopefully, its ownership hasn’t been determined yet."

Qi Chuan murmured to himself, then stimulated his mana and accelerated his downward flight speed once more.

With the Spirit Devouring Sword Gang attached to his body, the massive, pervasive supernatural pressure within the lake was greatly reduced, allowing Qi Chuan to reach speeds that would astonish other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The surrounding dark blue waters darkened into blue-black even faster under Qi Chuan’s rapid journey.

However, as time passed, Qi Chuan, who had been watching the direction of the lake’s depths, noticed that the faint white light in his view became increasingly clear, and its brightness grew, slightly brightening the surrounding blue-black waters.

"Finally, I’m almost there."

Seeing this, Qi Chuan smiled slightly, feeling slightly relieved.

Boom boom...

But at this moment, some intense explosion sounds also transmitted from the waters ahead.

Simultaneously, the waters here also churned wildly like angry waves, each wave stronger than the last. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

In the front, a room-sized milky white light glided quietly in the blue-black waters. Within the milky white light, it seemed that there was a pool of milky white liquid flowing, emitting a mysterious aura that just by looking at it, fascinated people, and made their hearts yearn.

"This... is the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, how great, it has not yet been claimed..."

Qi Chuan couldn’t help but gaze eagerly at the milky white liquid within that milky white light, and a tremendous impulse arose within him, making him want to dive headlong into that milky white light to seize the essence of the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi.

Boom!

However, at this moment, the enormous shock waves from the waters ahead jolted Qi Chuan back to clarity.

Qi Chuan cast his gaze forward and found that the waters surrounding the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi were indeed caught in the mixed combat he had anticipated. Various artifacts, talismans, and array flags at least Tier Two Upper Grade floated by, and beams of intense light erupted like blazing suns, unleashing terrifying powers sweeping all around.

In this top-tier mixed battle, even those five mighty figures couldn’t help but be forced back a few steps at times, their clothes stained with blood, suffering some injuries, and their aura slightly diminished.

However, with the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi right in front of them, whether for their sect or themselves, they could not give it up. Thus, even if injured, the five mighty figures persisted in their battle, having reached a fever pitch.

"Hmm?????"

But within this feverish mixed magical combat, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared in the waters behind, alerting the bloodthirsty Five Sect Leaders to divert some of their attention. While maintaining the combat, their Divine Senses collectively swept towards the waters behind.

Then, the Five Sect Leaders recognized the newcomer’s face, and different expressions surfaced on their faces.

"It’s actually Qi Chuan? He has a way to reduce the extraordinary pressure in the lake from the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi?"

At this moment, seeing Qi Chuan’s arrival, Situ Jiang’s old face was filled with surprise.

He hadn’t expected that after all Foundation Establishment Later Stage cultivators had already stopped, Qi Chuan could still come here alone.

But considering Qi Chuan’s consistent cultivation talent, having cultivated the Supreme Elder Technique and once obtaining an opportunity from a Secret Realm, it was still surprising, though acceptable.

"Now caught in a mixed and tough battle, everyone has suffered some injuries, and the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi is not yet claimed. Qi Chuan’s arrival is indeed timely!"

Situ Jiang felt slightly relieved and, looking at the other four sect leaders, felt a bit of covert satisfaction.

Though normally, an ordinary Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, even if reaching this place, would struggle against those at Foundation Establishment Perfection, Situ Jiang thought differently.

Just because others couldn’t, didn’t mean Qi Chuan couldn’t.

Qi Chuan’s power in magical combat was exceptionally strong, having previously killed several early and middle-stage Foundation Establishment Elders from the Celestial Soul Hall. Now, having advanced to Foundation Establishment Late Stage, facing injured Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators, he should certainly be able to achieve something.

"It’s actually someone from the Wind Moon Sect!"

The Valley of Myriad Beasts Sect Leader Myriad Dragons Lizard and the Profound Pill Sect Leader Xiao Dan frowned deeply upon seeing Qi Chuan’s arrival.

They hadn’t expected the Wind Moon Sect to have a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator capable of reaching such depths of the lake.

Though unaware of how Qi Chuan managed it, it clearly wasn’t good news for them.

Even if they weren’t particularly antagonistic with the Wind Moon Sect, the fact remained it wasn’t one of their own.

"But the better aspect is, at least it’s not someone from the opposition..."

Myriad Dragons Lizard and Xiao Dan exchanged a glance, each guessing the other’s thoughts, and couldn’t help but show a slight cold smile on their faces.

"Does the Wind Moon Sect really have such a hidden dragon, crouching tiger?"

Jiang Chen of the North Magnetic Mountain looked at Qi Chuan’s arrival with a surprised expression, finding the situation quite unbelievable.

Thinking that the other party could come here, they must have some special abilities.

"But after all, it’s still Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Merely that on their own, even reaching here, they wouldn’t accomplish much. Anyone at Foundation Establishment Perfection present can easily kill them."

Although surprised, Jiang Chen didn’t think highly of Qi Chuan, not taking the matter too seriously internally.

If it were someone at Foundation Establishment Perfection arriving, he would take it completely seriously.

For now, the situation hasn’t significantly changed.

"How can it be someone from the Wind Moon Sect, and not Luo Golden Body? What’s going on with that guy, why hasn’t he arrived yet!"

Contrary to the other four sect leaders’ mindsets, the Celestial Soul Hall Sect Leader Tian Hunzi glared at Qi Chuan, his face notably grim.

Although Luo Golden Body was Foundation Establishment Late Stage, through Tian Hunzi’s initiative years ago, they had temporarily lent a water-attribute Top Grade Spiritual Artifact from the Celestial Soul Hall’s Treasure Vault to him.

It wasn’t a premeditated plan, but a serendipitous utility discovered after entering this lake containing Celestial Spirit Gang Qi.

For this reason, he originally thought Luo Golden Body would be the only one from the Five Sects to reach such depths and assist his sect’s Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators.

But the outcome greatly disappointed him.

For some unknown reason, Luo Golden Body failed to arrive, which in itself was disappointing.

Moreover, to his annoyance, the Wind Moon Sect actually had someone capable of similarly reducing the extraordinary pressure in the water, coming to such depths!
